Description
A good Late 19th century French porcelain panelled repeating Carriage Clock in a bamboo style case
Henri Jacot, 5341
The typical case with bevelled glass inspection panel and repeat button over four porcelain panels decorated with cherry blossoms in delicate shades of blue against a silvered ground. The white Arabic chapter ring with stylised pierced brass hands. The two train movement with cut and compensated bimetallic balance to a silvered English lever platform escapement striking the hours and halves on a blued steel gong marked FD. Stamped with the Jacot trademark and numbered 5341. Ticking, striking and repeating. Together with a double-ended key for winding and hand-setting. 19cms (7.5ins) high.
Footnotes:
In 1874 the term 'Japonisme' was coined to encompass all items inspired by the Japanese art that flooded the European market. Woodblock prints were especially collectable and their bold colours, flat plains and stylization influenced many artists such as Monet and van Gogh, but also everyday items such as this carriage clock. A very similar case may be seen on page 47 in 'A Century of Fine Carriage Clocks' by Joseph Fanelli. Based on comparisons with similar clocks, it is likely that this clock was produced between 1878-1882.

For a biography of Henri Jacot and his family, see the Appendix.
